The method includes displaying the plurality of audio objects on a display, each audio object being displayed at a location having a horizontal component and a vertical component, wherein the location of each audio object is changeable by a user.
Claims24
A method for playing a plurality of audio objects, the method comprising:
- displaying the plurality of audio objects on a display, each audio object being displayed at a location having a horizontal component and a vertical component, wherein the location of each audio object is changeable by a user;
- responsive to a first playback command, playing each of the plurality of audio objects, wherein each audio object starts playing after a delay corresponding to the location of the audio object;
- wherein the delay after which the audio object starts playing is proportional to the horizontal component of the audio object's location, and wherein at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having different horizontal components;
- and
- wherein each of the plurality of audio objects corresponds to an audio clip associated with a musical instrument, and at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having the same vertical component, and correspond to audio clips associated with different musical instruments.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method comprising:
- displaying the plurality of audio objects on a display, each audio object being displayed at a location having a horizontal component and a vertical component, wherein the location of each audio object is changeable by a user;
- responsive to a first playback command, playing each of the plurality of audio objects, wherein each audio object starts playing after a delay corresponding to the location of the audio object;
- wherein the delay after which the audio object starts playing is proportional to the horizontal component of the audio object's location, and wherein at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having different horizontal components;
- and
- wherein each of the plurality of audio objects corresponds to an audio clip associated with a musical instrument, and wherein at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having the same vertical component, and correspond to audio clips associated with different musical instruments.
An electronic device comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
- display the plurality of audio objects on a display, each audio object being displayed at a location having a horizontal component and a vertical component, wherein the location of each audio object is changeable by a user;
- responsive to a first playback command, play each of the plurality of audio objects, wherein each audio object starts playing after a delay corresponding to the location of the audio object;
- wherein the delay after which the audio object starts playing is proportional to the horizontal component of the audio object's location, and wherein at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having different horizontal components;
- wherein each of the plurality of audio objects corresponds to an audio clip associated with a musical instrument, and wherein at least two of the plurality of audio objects are displayed at locations having the same vertical component, and correspond to audio clips associated with different musical instruments.
